Information about your package:

The tracking detail page at fedex.com provides detailed information about your shipment, including your shipment's current status and estimated delivery date. Delivery days and times vary by service type.

If the tracking page indicates your shipment is on time, use the estimated delivery date as a guide to when your shipment will arrive.

I tracked my shipment, and there haven't been any scans for more than a day. What should I do? / I tracked my shipment and there wasn't any update on it. What should I do?

Packages in the FedEx system receive scans at various points between pickup and delivery. It is not unusual for a package to go for more than 24 hours without a scan while in transit – your package may be traveling as intended. For further assistance, please contact FedEx Customer Service at 0800-733-339.

For New Zealand, FedEx Express

- International Priority: Monday through Friday between 9am - 5pm

- International Economy: Monday through Friday between 9am - 5pm

Please note, specific delivery times may vary by selected service and location, especially for rural areas.

I don't understand the route my shipment is taking. The city where my shipment is being scanned doesn't appear to be on the correct route. Should I be concerned?

Shipments may move through regional sorting locations before arriving at their final delivery destination. Often shipments may not appear to be moving on the most direct route from the pickup location to the final delivery destination.

When I first tracked the package, it had an estimated delivery date and now there isn't one. What does this mean?

Although we are able to provide the estimated delivery date information for many of our shipments, when the shipment encounters a delay or an exception in handling, we may not be able to accurately state when we expect the package to be delivered.

What does the "status of exception code" mean?

This information notes that there was an exception to the traditional in-person courier delivery. For example, perhaps no one was at the destination address so it was not left and delivery will be reattempted, or it was left without a signature because we had prior approval from the sender or recipient to do so.

If you ship many packages a week and would like to schedule a regular pickup, please call Customer Service.

When do package dimensions determine my rates?

Shipments in FedEx-provided packaging are not currently subject to dimensional weight pricing. Dimensional weight is a calculation of a shipment's weight based on the dimensional weight instead of its actual weight. To obtain a rate quote, you will need to provide shipment dimensions along with the actual weight of your shipment.

How do I calculate dimensional weight?

For all FedEx Express shipments to another country/territory, dimensional weight is calculated by the following formula: Length x Width x Height (all in cm or all in inches)/ factor number, which is provided by FedEx.

FedEx reserves the right to assess transportation charges based on dimensional weight for all shipments.

Can I reroute a FedEx Express package in transit or make an address correction?

Yes. Only one reroute request per package is allowed to change a delivery address from what was originally on the air waybill or shipping label. The shipment reroute must be authorized by the sender. A reroute includes a change to any one of the following:

From one street address to another in the same city/state

From Hold at FedEx Location instructions to a request for a delivery

From delivery instructions to a request for Hold at FedEx Location

From one Hold at FedEx Location to another in the same city/state

To reroute a shipment, call Customer Service and provide the following information:

FedEx tracking number

The new destination address and contact telephone number for the recipient.

Please note that the FedEx Money-Back Guarantee does not apply to shipments that are rerouted.

Are there any extra charges for rerouting a package?

Yes, additional restrictions and fees may apply. There is no extra charge to hold packages for pickup instead of delivery; however, the person authorized to pick up the package will need to present a photo I.D. The FedEx Money-Back Guarantee does not apply to shipments that are rerouted.

FedEx reserves the right to determine the mode of transportation (including air, ground, or other carriers) to get your shipment to its new destination as quickly as possible. FedEx will attempt to honor the new delivery request, but verification and handling procedures may result in delays.
